I totally agree with Granny Gruff. The lack of instructions is startling and disappointing. You really don't know what to do next or why you are doing it. I enjoy the HO scenes. But, overall, I am just clicking on things trying to figure out what each one does. It's a very confusing game - sort of like being blindfolded and playing pin the tail on the donkey. I am befuddled as to why someone would make a game and then just throw it out there, leaving a player in a state of "What do I do next and why do I do it?" I played the demo and then waited to see if anyone would review it. I definitely hesitate to pay full price for it, so I may wait to use a coupon, just because I like the HO scenes (although they are a bit repetitive) and the graphics are very nice. If you don't mind just poking around and experimenting to see what happens, you may enjoy this adventure; but be prepared to be frustrated by the lack of instructions or hints. I will recommend the game, but only when using a coupon for a free game. Granny Gruff's review is a perfect description of the game in more detail than I am writing since there is no reason for me to repeat it verbatim.
I recommend this game!

Just completed demo and have ordered full version. Visually stunning! Music is sort of new age and appropriate for game. I enjoyed it. The VOs are good except for the niece, Larisa. Coins to find and morphing objects. I love that some of the items in the HO scenes morph. You must select them as they morph into the item on the list. Map is good and interactive. I'm looking forward to finishing this game after I complete the one I'm currently playing.
I recommend this game!

The Far Kingdoms: Age of Solitaire
Use the power of the magic cards to help Arianna rebuild her kingdom!
This is a lovely game - terrific graphics, fun storyline, all the good things everyone has already said. I don't often submit a review, but this one is so short that I felt like I wanted to add my voice to the others who have also mentioned that fact. I played the game in one evening after I got home from work and before I went to bed. After you complete the game, you can play solitaire all you want to, but the hands no longer tie into the game. I used a coupon to get this game and that was about all it was worth to me just because it's such a short game. Had I paid the full member price, I wouldn't have been very happy.
